Near Unlimited Scalability
The OriginOil System can scale from the smallest single-reactor plant to large refinery-scale operations to ensure global energy demands can in fact be met.
Benefits of Oil From the OriginOil System
Cleaner to Produce and Burn
Petroleum contains sulfur and other toxins. It is a heavy pollutant. Drilling operations are highly noxious; crude spills on sea and land are natural catastrophes; and refineries produce heavy pollutants. By contrast, the algae production process generates no toxins — it’s a lot like growing grass hydroponically. Oil created using OriginOil technology generates no heavy metals or sulfur when burned, and minimal output of greenhouse gases. |

Can Be Produced Close to Point of Demand
Petroleum often travels tens of thousands of miles to reach its destination. This adds cost and gives suppliers a stranglehold on consumers. Using OriginOil technology, fuel can now be produced close to the site of usage and demand — virtually eliminating the transport cost of petroleum. In the future, portable OriginOil Systems may be transported to the point of demand and quickly start producing oil for electricity generation or fuel. |

Does Not Compete with Food
The ethanol boom is already having a disastrous effect on food prices. Fast-rising prices of corn have caused havoc in global food supplies and the commodities markets. Using algae as a feedstock avoids creating shortages in food supplies or markets. |

Works with Existing Refineries
Unlike other solutions which bypass the existing refining infrastructure, OriginOil’s technology enables the production of fully compatible fuels. The petroleum industry has already announced plans to support the refining of biofuels. Of these, algae oil is most like petroleum in structure as it can be readily “cracked” into the lighter components of crude oil such as jet fuel, diesel, gasoline, solvents and plastics. |

Works With Existing Gas Stations and Vehicles
Most solutions to the energy problem require massive new infrastructure.
- Hybrids require new cars with toxic batteries.
- Hydrogen cars need a new fuel network.
- Electric cars need their own recharging stations.
By contrast, fuel refined from OriginOil systems can be seamlessly integrated into the current petroleum distribution system. |
